NECKTIE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 364,017, dated May 31,1887.

Application filed April 5, 1887. Serial No. 233,724. (No model.)

To all whom #may concern:

Be it known that I, J oHN HIEsTER IRWIN,

n of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State ofPennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Necktie, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

With the ordinary form of scarf or necktie the binding-strip isnecessarily exposed to v as the binding-strip is soiled or defaced.

It is to overcome this difficulty and to provide a scarf which may beworn for a much greater length-of ti-me than the ordinary forni ofscart` that I have devised the construction forming the subj ect-matterof this application, the invention consisting, essentially, offabinding-strip made up of four, five, or more thicknesses of thematerialof which the outer face of the scarf is formed, said thicknesses ofmaterial being united by studs that are passed through button-holesformed in the several thicknesses of material tliefarran gement beingsuch that as one thickness' or layer becomes chafed, soiled, or worn itmay be drawn from the binding-strip, and thereby leave a fresh cleansurface exposed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar figures of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the views.

Figure l is a face View of a tie constructed in accordance with theterms of my invention. Fig. 2 is a rear view of the same. Fig. 3 is asectional view taken on the broken line :c x of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is aview of the4 binding- 4o strip removed fromthe scarf.

trated in the drawings above referred to, instead of using a singlethickness of outward material for the binding-strip, I take four, tive,or more thicknesses of such material and unite them in any propermanner, these strips being shaped as shown at l() in Fig. 4, and

each being formed with stud or button* holes 2, as illustrated in saidfigure.

In forming the scarf, the pendent portions ll of said scarf areconnected to the inner facing-strip, or to a lining that is carriedthereby. Studs 3 are then inserted through the buttonh oles in the bodyof .the strip 10. The short end of the strip is carried upward andbehind the main body of the strip, and the inner ends of the sectionsare tacked to the back of the -inner layer of the main body ofthe strip.The

'as long as it would be with the ordinary form of scarf. v

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent- In a scarf, the combination, with abindingstrip formed with button-holes, of studs fitted within saidbutton-holes, the binding-strip being composed of several layers of thematerial forming the outer face of the scarf, substantially asdescribed.

JOHN HIESTER IRWIN.
